writing in particular formats is hard for me, though I HAVE done challenges. I prefer to write in whatever rhythm fits the thing I want to say. Your ability to follow particular styles on a regular basis is impressive. I have a bunch of printouts of past challenges I did years ago, with an explanation of what they were, just so I know how to do it, again….but I never looked at them again after I tucked them away.

I made the challenges into another tab/page so that people (you) can find them more easily with the instructions on how to write the different forms. You don’t have to force yourself to write a particular form if you don’t “feel it.” I actually hate writing the terza rima sonnet form, and it comes out in my clunkier poems, but if I can’t force myself to write these things, how can I ask others to try writing them? And your responses to the challenges were always brilliant, so you don’t give yourself nearly enough credit. 🙂
